Residents and businesses across Nevis are being put on formal notice this week that the local Water Department is set to begin a cycle of service disconnections targeting customers with unpaid, overdue water balances. Scheduled to run between Tuesday, June 16 and Friday, June 26, 2026, the disconnection initiative is the department’s standard enforcement action to encourage resolution of outstanding account balances.
In an official public notice posted Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at 2:45 PM, the department stressed that customers have until the close of business on Friday, June 12, 2026 to pay down any overdue amounts on their accounts to avoid having their water service cut off. For customers who fail to settle their outstanding balances before the June 15, 2026 deadline for avoiding disconnection procedures, the department has confirmed that a mandatory $150.00 reconnection fee will be added to their total owed amount before service can be restored.
This routine annual action by the Nevis Water Department is designed to recover unpaid utility revenue that supports ongoing maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and consistent water delivery services across the island. Account holders with questions about their balance or available payment plans are encouraged to contact the department directly before the June 12 deadline to arrange for settlement and prevent unexpected service interruptions.
